Camrus Johnson: Luke Fox

Quotes 

• Luke Fox : Tell me you destroyed it.

  Sophie Moore : I can't. Too many eyes. We need a plan B.

  Luke Fox : No. What? Sophie, no. Every plan involves you destroying the damn sample!

  Sophie Moore : Look. My entire office is acting like they're sitting on the nuclear codes. I'd have an easier time swiping records out of Area 51. There are only 78 more minutes 'til they get her profile. Then they're gonna upload it to the national DNA database, and... and if she's ever been entered in there for any reason ever, such as an arrest, they're gonna get a match, and the whole world will know Batwoman's identity.

• Sophie Moore : Oh, no.

  Luke Fox : What? What happened?

  Sophie Moore : It's not just Batwoman's file. They're uploading DNA profiles from dozens of Crows investigations.

  Luke Fox : You can't single hers out?

  Sophie Moore : That's the problem. They made the file labels numbers for anonymity. There are no names, meaning there's no way to tell them apart. The only way to get Batwoman's would be to corrupt them all.

  Luke Fox : How serious are these cases?

  Sophie Moore : This being Gotham, we can be damn sure it's not for jaywalking. If we did this, we wouldn't just be protecting Batwoman. We would be protecting rapists and murderers. We can't do it, Luke.

  Luke Fox : What about Batwoman, Sophie? The results will be back in a matter of minutes. What are we supposed to do?

  Sophie Moore : I might have an idea.

• Luke Fox : Batwoman, we took a group vote, and you need to come home.

  Batwoman : What are you talking about? Angelique is being held somewhere in this dump.

  Mary Hamilton : And while we appreciate that she's a former flame, Sophie just dropped an A-bomb. We need to figure out how to preserve your identity.

  Batwoman : We will once I find Angelique.

  Mary Hamilton : Didn't Sophie just say that we only had a couple more hours?

  Batwoman : Yeah. So I gotta be quick.

  Luke Fox : Okay, I'm just gonna say it. Finding Angelique is not worth throwing the Bat-legacy down the drain.

  Batwoman : Excuse me?

  Luke Fox : Look, I'm just saying you can't have both. Black Mask is using Angelique to cook Snakebite, right? So, he went through a lot of trouble for her, so I highly doubt he'd just kill off his golden goose right off the bat. Priority number one should be saving the future of the symbol for your sake and the city's, and then...

  Batwoman : How about this? You two call Sophie, y'all put your heads together and save my future. I'll be here kicking some False Face ass, saving my past.

  [finding a mask and blood spatter on the ground] 

  Batwoman : I'll check in later.

• Ryan Wilder : [re-watching a recording of Angelique at gunpoint]  Why are you making me re-live this?

  Luke Fox : Black Mask kept tabs on his cookhouses with a video feed, allowed him an eye on the cookie jar without actually getting his hand caught in it. Smart, right? Wrong. Because that allows me to track the internet traffic.

  Mary Hamilton : So we can track it back to the camera's IP address to get the location of the cookhouse where Angelique is being held.

  [seeing his look] 

  Mary Hamilton : Not just a pretty face here, people.

  Ryan Wilder : Send those cookhouse coordinates to the Batmobile.

  Luke Fox : Uh, I'm not sure that's gonna be first your stop. Somebody turned on the Bat-Signal.

• Mary Hamilton : Blech. You know we're gonna have to deep-clean the Batmobile now.

  Luke Fox : Oh, I am well aware. Okay, based on the trajectory, they're headed somewhere along the waterfront.

  Mary Hamilton : Ugh. I get the appeal of Angelique or whatever, but how desperate are we? I mean, Alice? Alice? Really? Do we even know this isn't a trap?

  Luke Fox : Nope.
